Aggregating knowledge about prions and amyloid
Abstract
Prions, self-propagating protein structures that can be transmitted between cells and different organisms, usually consist of ordered protein aggregates. Alberti et al. (2009) now present a systematic approach for the discovery of new prions that expands the spectrum of their biological functions.
